I am in the process of entering information from a GEDCOM created by a group
of German genealogists. It contains approximately 780 families - over 1300
individuals. A lot of the information (i.e. occupations, residencies,
marriage notes, citizenships, etc.) is in German and that is what I have

Hello. I have been using Family Tree Maker version 16. A problem with
that program and the fact that I have lost the disk, makes it an
opportune time to consider changing to Legacy. However, I only have the

Does anyone have an old FTM version 16 disk
He simply has Earthlink service and didn't authorize the LUG messages through

The problem you will have with the split screen approach is that you cannot
have both "sides" opened at the same time...so you would have to "glance" at

I can't explain why this doesn't work for others but it seems to work

Good ideas, Mike. What I'd like to see is some kind of ability to see what the
"Detail" source screen will contain in SW, while I'm still working on a

info on the Master screen, (because I'm a bit of a lumper) but I d

I suspect that your stepchild is only linked to you husband and needs to be
linked to your husband and yourself as parents. It is perfectly in order for
a child to have more than one set of parents.
Click the child's Parent Icon and add yourself and husband as "link to
existing parents".
